Playing "Quintet" from 1967, Nessa, on the radio. To celebrate this mysterious musician flowing with an internal musical dialoge between the primacy of melodic improvisation, or color and intensity. And they vie for the top until Jarman just tumbles into theater, or begats poetics. Non-Cognitive Aspects of New Orleans. Together Alone. Old South Side Street Dance. After hours of those and other things then "Quintet." Got a call. 2:45 a.m. Caller, "You call this what'cher playin' music?" Blue Lake, "Yessss." Caller, "The hell it is." Doin' it. We're doin' it, Nessa. Still in the woods at Blue Lake at night. Thatch Mow

Jazz could use all the promotional videos it needs. This works as a tease. Favorite part, T.S. Monk saying, "This concert opens with a ballad." His expression is priceless.

It was a life changing experience - we played music around the clock with musicians from around the world who stopped through. He also introduced me to Ornette Coleman’s concept and got me started composing music. Don was so generous – he opened the door for me, as he did for so many. He was educating at every moment – you only had to listen and look. In my travels since then, I am always meeting musicians who were inspired by Don. Don pointed the way for so much of what is happening now in music. He was the prototype “world musician”; he knew how to lift the music of anyone he performed with, from any culture in the world, while always sounding like himself. For me, Don was a musical mentor as well as a life mentor. Don’s spirit, outlook and philosophy were so deep and radiant. From him I learned that music is more than a profession; that sound itself is sacred, that silence is sacred. I learned about having the courage to pursue your own creative vision, about the importance of listening and imagination, and about the relationship of knowledge to freedom. He showed that being open to seeking knowledge is integral to the life of an artist. Don said his trumpet was an amplifier to his inner voice. He showed how to reach for that. Don understood about humility. He often said “music doesn’t belong to anyone; we come to music.” I feel like this Don Cherry Celebration is already a success before the music has even started: just all of the musicians connecting and talking about and remembering Brother Don. It is best now, though, to let the music speak for itself…so, see you there…. “in a minute.” Peace, Adam Rudolph A Don Cherry Celebration October 1—23, 2005 10/1 Saturday 8 and 10 pm Karl Berger "In the Spirit of Don Cherry" Karl Berger (vibraphone, piano, melodica) Graham Haynes (cornet, dusu’ngoni) Peter Apfelbaum (tenor sax, flute) Mark Helais (bass) Tani Tabbal (drums) Ingrid Sertso (vocal, poetry) 10/2 Sunday 8 pm Opening Invocation: Mu Joseph Jarman (poetry, song, bamboo, woodwinds) Adam Rudolph (handrumset, percussion, voice) 10 pm Mark Helias and Graham Haynes Duo Mark Helias (bass) Graham Haynes (cornet) 10/4 Tuesday 8 pm Cyro plays Don Tim Keiper (drum set, percussion) Brian Marsella (pianoforte, keyboards, melodica) Peter Apfelbaum (piano forte, saxophone, melodica, percussion) Cyro Baptista (percussion) 10 pm Ira Cohen and Friends Ira Cohen (poetry) Brahim Fribgane (oud, dumbek, vocal) Harris Eisenstadt (drums) Graham Haynes (electronics, cornet) Matt Waugh (live sampling, electronics, guitar) 10/5 Wednesday 8 pm Ned Rothenberg Quartet Ned Rothenberg (alto sax, bass clarinet) Ray Anderson (trombone) Lindsay Horner (bass) Reggie Nicholson (drums) Premier performance of this 4-tet playing tunes by Don Cherry or inspired by him. 10 pm Avram Fefer Bobby Few Duo Avram Fefer (reeds), Bobby Few (piano) A rare visit from Paris by the master pianist.

His music continues to live in us all.” -- With love and respect, Henry Grimes “I met Don shortly after he came to NY with Ornette. While I never knew him as well as I would have liked, his work on the instrument served as a repository of information and a source of inspiration.

John tweaked the mix some for the sax (when there was enough signal to tweak; sometimes Arno just stands too far away from the mic so there's nothing you can do). In any case we will be rebroadcasting this entire performance Saturday morning from about 8:45 a.m. to 9:55 a.m. That is it will take up the last hour of Jazz a la Carte which airs every Saturday morning from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. est. Please join us on the web via www.bluelake.org

Not sure of the question but you can't go wrong with Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, Duke Ellington, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Mingus, Miles, Trane, Ornette, Cecil Taylor, Art Ensemble, Fred Anderson, William Parker and then take your pick of new releases (have you heard the new Gerald Wilson big band cd?)

To put the concert in context, too, and correct me if I'm wrong in the specifics, it needs to be mentioned that Byas had his own spotlight on this stage; that the Bird and Diz part was only one "set" of an evening featuring Erroll Garner's Trio by itself, then with Byas as well as Buck Clayton, and the finale was Pearl Bailey. What survives of Byas and Garner's material is not timid, or outdated. Though the Garner material was of it's time, Byas is timeless, and his music was a feat of sound and imagination that he exudes confidence. When you said he made a sudden and un-accounced for exit I thought you meant to Europe! When the Don Redman Band brought bebop to Europe it was with Byas, Billy Taylor and Tadd Dameron's charts as the bearers of the new sound. So, clearly a transitional figure who's style wasn't as old as Hawk or Pres. By the crowd reaction in Town Hall it is clear that Big Sid is a Star. I'm sure what Allen is talking about is true for musicians yet the musical changes were still coming on with the public, and the crowd sounds electrified to have Sid come on stage. They obviously loved him.

Bill Henderson with Ramsey Lewis is lovely, too: their "Joey Joey Joey" (which Nessa turned me on to) is probably the best version of that I've ever heard. Perfect pace, sense of drama, nuance and, of course, swing. Glad you liked the sets. God Bless Lucky Thompson and Al McKibbon.

MARK STRYKER'S JAZZ HIGHLIGHTS: Trio organissimo set to lay down greasy grooves at Baker's By MARK STRYKER FREE PRESS COLUMNIST August 12, 2005 The Lansing-based organ trio organissimo has been spreading its wings of late, performing more and more frequently in metro Detroit, and that's good news for anyone who loves the life-of-the-party vibe emanating from a kick-butt Hammond organist surrounded by simpatico mates. The trio returns to Baker's Keyboard Lounge this weekend for the second time since May, and this time, the band has a new CD to plug. "This is the Place" (Big O Records) is a gas. Organist Jim Alfredson, guitarist Joe Gloss and drummer Randy Marsh have a gift for classic soul-jazz language and a special fondness for greasy boogaloo grooves. The trio knows how to stomp the blues, bring a Latin twist to a standard ballad, turn up the heat for a rip-snorting romp in 6/8 or get down-and-dirty inside a funky-swamp beat. Alfredson handles the organ duties with panache, guitarist Gloss' solos and accompaniment mesh wonderfully and drummer Marsh lays down a red carpet of boogie with veteran authority. There's nothing too complicated about organissimo's approach: It's music that reminds of saxophonist Johnny Griffin's aphorism that jazz is music for people who have decided to feel good in spite of conditions. It's a shame that the organizers of the annual Detroit International Jazz Festival have yet to get hip to organissimo, but perhaps this showcase gig will fuel the grassroots buzz.

I think the next Organissimo album should be called, "steatopygous"

Haven't paged through the thread to see, so if this is redundant: http://villagevoice.com/music/0532,davis3,66646,22.html Unsuspected Treasure Dizzy Gillespie flies, Charlie Parker races, Symphony Sid jives, and you are there by Francis Davis August 5th, 2005 4:27 PM Dizzy Gillespie—Charlie Parker Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945 Uptown A CD whose most obvious selling point is its very existence, Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945 gives us Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie fresh from the 3 Deuces and full of vim at the dawn of bebop, almost a decade before Massey Hall. No one even suspected this 40-minute set had been recorded until the professional-quality, unlabeled acetates circuitously found their way to Uptown's Bob Sunenblick. Despite needle hiss, the sound is vivid—Max Roach's bass drum rips through your woofer. (Bassist Curley Russell, alas, is as much a rumor as he was on contemporaneous studio recordings.) Symphony Sid's jive-ass announcements create a you-are-there aura, Al Haig's piano solos are little lyrical adventures, and though sitters-in Don Byas and Sid Catlett are out of their idiom, they're not enough to deter Parker and Gillespie from their artful games of double dare. Dizzy spends most of his choruses in the stratosphere; Parker spends his racing around bar lines as if they weren't there. The average length of the tunes is about seven minutes, roughly double that of the era's commercially issued sides, and you know you're in for a ride when the slowest tempo is "Groovin' High." With Coltrane at the Half Note in '65 and Monk at Carnegie Hall in '57 coming in the next few months, to say nothing of Miles at the Cellar Door in '70 and Sonny Rollins in Boston soon after 9-11, this is shaping up as a year of archaeological finds. But nothing figures to top this.

Both Philly Joe Jones and Dameronia recordings on Uptown.

http://www.usatoday.com/money/media/2005-0...ting-usat_x.htm Storm clouds gather over podcasting By Michelle Kessler, USA TODAY SAN FRANCISCO — At Seattle public radio station KEXP, there's a simple procedure for evaluating new technology. "We just go ahead and do stuff," says John Richards, the station's morning disc jockey. Nic Harcourt would like to podcast his 'Morning Becomes Eclectic' show, but licensing problems stand in the way.By Robert Hanashiro, USA TODAY That's how the quirky station created one of the first music podcasts — without support from major record companies. A podcast is a digital recording of a radio-style audio program that can be downloaded from the Internet and played on a digital music player. Many podcasters think the technology could revolutionize radio as TiVo did television. But record labels worry that listeners will pirate the songs contained in the downloaded radio shows. The result: yet another Napster-like standoff over piracy and music rights. Podcasting is a great way for KEXP to reach thousands of new listeners, especially those outside of Seattle, Richards says. But the station can't podcast programs such as John in the Morning —Richards' variety mix of independent and mainstream music — because record companies haven't provided an easy, affordable way for podcasters to license songs. That's why most podcasts today are talk radio. So KEXP last month invited 14 unsigned or small-label bands from the Seattle area to contribute songs to a podcast. Richards asked a lawyer — a listener who volunteers at the station — to draw up a simple contract for the bands. KEXP did not release numbers but said the podcast was a hit. KEXP is now podcasting some live performances to which it owns the rights. KEXP decided that "we couldn't sit around and wait and wait for a major (label) to sign off on this," Richards says. Pause, rewind Since podcasts are recordings, they can be played at any time. Listeners can pause, fast-forward or rewind them. And since podcasts are posted online, listeners can download programs from radio stations and independent broadcasters from all over the world. The podcasts can also be hacked and pirated. An enterprising listener could pull songs out of a podcast and turn them into music files or CDs. That's why many record companies say the technology is promising but problematic. For example, OK Go and several other emerging bands with EMI have their own podcasts. But EMI is not ready to approve a blanket podcasting license. "Podcasting is potentially very exciting," says Executive Vice President Adam Klein. But the company needs contracts "that are responsible to everybody," he says. Ruth Seymour, general manager at influential Los Angeles public radio station KCRW, worries that those contracts will take years to be worked out. That would keep podcasting from reaching its potential, she says. Several of KCRW's programs — notably a well-regarded new-music show called Morning Becomes Eclectic— would be perfect for podcasting, Seymour says. Many already have fans worldwide thanks to an early form of digital radio called streaming media. Streaming media is different from podcasting because it's not a recording, which makes it harder to pirate. A stream is essentially a broadcast that travels over the Internet instead of the airwaves. Record and radio companies have struck a blanket licensing agreement for streaming based on traditional radio licenses. No such agreement exists for podcasting. So if Seymour wanted to podcast Morning Becomes Eclectic, she would have to sign individual contracts with each record company. "That's an impossible process," says digital music analyst Phil Leigh at Inside Digital Media. For now, KCRW is podcasting only talk programs, live performances and independent bands. "I really want to podcast (major label) music!" Seymour says. "It's where the future is ... (but) I don't want a cease-and-desist order." Protecting artists Record companies say they're just trying to look out for their artists. Podcasting could exacerbate the piracy problem created by file-swapping sites such as Grokster and Kazaa. When listeners download a podcast, they "are getting a copy of an entire program ... an unprotected copy that they can do whatever they want with," says Steve Marks, a lawyer at the Recording Industry Association of America, a trade group. This difference between streaming and podcasting also has licensing implications, Marks says. Streaming is generally licensed collectively, while podcasting, because it is a download, is licensed by individual copyright owners. If the radio and recording industries do agree on a contract, it's unclear what it would look like — or cost. Most podcasts today are free, but that would change once podcasters have to start paying for broadcast rights, says Inside Digital Media's Leigh. Still, Leigh and others say a solution will eventually be found. Podcasting technology is too exciting to ignore, says Tom Poleman, senior vice president of programming for Z100, a top-40 station in New York. Z100 podcasts some talk portions of its morning show, and Poleman says he'd love to offer fans more. "A lot of people in radio may have the initial reaction to fear technology," Poleman says. "I think it's an exciting time, an opportunity for us to reinvent ourselves."
